I am playing FF8 on epsxe.

I get this screen when the opening video begins, displaying the names of game makers etc... before the main menu. It goes away after a few seconds, but I sense that it is a deeper issue.

The game also crashes when loading the sequences that aren't FMV's but aren't actual gameplay footage... I'm not sure what they are called, but when the characters are moving at their own accord. I'm assuming that the two issues are related. The game works fine on P.E.O.P.S 1.17 but I prefer the look of PETEs 1.1.77. I'm hoping that it is just a simple plugin spec change...

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Alright, I changed my settings to this and everything was working awesome until you flee from X-ATM092 in Dollet. Immediately after I jump to the boat and Qusitis destroys X-ATM092 the screen goes black and the game crashes. Is there a certain type of FMV or sequence that takes place here that requires certain plugin settings?

Try using the P.E.Op.S. "Soft" GPU to get through that sequence.
